Transit card is linked to your credit card which is linked to your identity. Unless you pay cash and obtain a new cars/pass each time.

Communities moving to ‘chat’ based platforms instead of traditional discussion boards is something I’ve observed a lot in the last few years. Which certainly feel like a step backwards in my view. It keeps happening though, so I must he in the minority opinion on this.

Great movie. In this case, at end of this one you can have assets and apparently also tell your friends what you’re up to.

It’s a never ending onslaught of beginner questions and experienced folks with domain knowledge burn out. I’m sure it’s good when it’s new and fresh and everyone is exited to participate, but that wears out. It’s why things went away from mailing lists, or why mailing lists started getting archived, so they could be searched.

I guess with most things it comes in cycles, and we’re at the on demand answers cycle right now.

Ephemeral discord servers are awful because they don’t scale and they can only ever help the lowest common denominator of questions/issues. We need something else, but it has yet to present itself as a solution.

Regarding obsolete models, that’s only partially true. There’s loads of content that are effectively “finished” and won’t be changing, and will grow obsolete at a fairly slow pace. Meaning they’ll be useful in the models once trained for years.

Obviously new technology and similar ideas/content that didn’t exist when the model was created won’t be there, but the amount that changes and or is new is relatively small each year compared to all the historical content.

Nah. They will cross licence with the other big players effectively closing the market to anyone they don’t bless.

How’d that work out for them? Answer? Not well. History repeats itself, so here we go!

It took me a while to realize that me and my close circle are so far removed from what most people are doing so I could logically accept that there are people who click ads and buy the stuff.

I hate ads as much as anyone on Lemmy, so I deliberately avoid clicking the ones that slip through uBlock, but I do accept that just seeing them has some influence on me.

There are huge deaths of folks that blissfully unaware (maybe by deliberate ignorance) and just happily buy stuff that’s advertised to them.

While it’s appalling to me, it’s not even something most people consider or even care about. I don’t mean this to be gatekeepy or elitist, it’s just a different value system and that’s fine, that’s what I had to realize and that’s why ads are big business.

Campout Magazine is woman owned and has a very vintage and retro feel.

To them it’s a feature, not a bug.

I was just nodding along, reading your post thinking, yup, agreed. Until I saw there was a PR to fix it that signal ignored, that seems odd and there must be some mitigating circumstances on why they haven’t merged it.

Otherwise that’s just inexcusable.

This whole problem could be avoided by running the API on the grill itself, fully locally on the lan.

Seems like the grill is a dumb client that polls the cloud API to determine what action to take, and then the phone app pushes commands to the cloud for the grill.

An overly complicated setup that only forces you into their walled garden.

I’m sure there are projects covering those areas written in JavaScript.

This is fantastic. Been waiting for this for years.

Had to jump into the Web app to see if it was really there, and it was and worked just like they said it would.

That sounds awful. And a major loss to accessibility. Here’s hoping one of the standards gains traction as the one path everyone can agree on.

I’m not up to speed on this issue, but it seems like the solution is to push forward with making the readers work in Wayland? Is there a technical issue with Wayland’s design that prevents readers from working properly?

Maybe the fact you have to be there and read it while connected is the secret sauce to prove that it’s a “real” library, meaning they have a fixed number of copies (max players connected to the server at any given time) and that helps them get protected the same way a real library is?

That’s perfectly fine for some things, but for most people letting their browser choice dictate what sites they use is backwards

It’s ok to think recall is invasive and bad for privacy, but it isn’t even released yet. If you’re gonna hate something and drag it through the mud, do it for real and valid reasons.
